Remembrance Sunday at Blackfen

Mulier Fortis has put together this slideshow of our Remembrance Sunday celebrations at Blackfen - Missa Cantata in the morning and blessing of graves at the local cemetery in the afternoon. The title picture shows me blessing the grave of the first parish priest of Blackfen, Fr Adolf Koch. This is always the first grave that I go to.



Many thanks to one of the senior servers for lending the Mass vestments from his private collection.

I have my own copy of the Missale Defunctorum picked up via the internet at a reasonable price before Summorum Pontificum. My MC had a useful second copy for the absolutions at the catafalque which he got in a second-hand bookshop. It was amusing to see that it originally belonged to the parish of the Holy Ghost, Balham where my good friend Fr Stephen Langridge (Southwark Vocations Director) is parish priest.

Dear Father Finigan

Thanks for this truly wonderful post.

I think I recognise one of your senior servers from Erith's hard streets. If it is the man I'm thinking of, he teaches maths to seriously damaged young offenders, and he also enjoys a well deserved glass of beer when the opportunity presents itself :-)

On Remembrance Sunday I e-mailed Stuart Woodin of Scott Wilson - Consultants, about the first meeting to discuss the regeneration of our community on the Larner Road Estate. Orbit South are fronting the scheme, and the project is backed by funds from the Government's Homes & Communities Agency, and the London Borough of Bexley.

This meeting took place on Saturday 7th November 2009, and I gave Mr Woodin's colleague Shibani Bose a poppy, and hard evidence relating to my individual FOOTBALL AGAINST RACISM IN EUROPE case for the defence against neo-Nazi entry-ism into London's Sporting/Planning Arena, which began in the 1990/91 football season when I discovered that the NF/BNP leadership were being allowed to use the Old Addeyans FC/Densitron International (now Technologies) plc development for their 'Planning for Real' meetings.

At the next General Election former Met Police Inspector Michael Barnbrook, the BNP's Police Spokesman, will be standing as a candidate for MP in Our Lady of the Rosary's Parish, Blackfen, which is in the late Sir Edward Heath's Old Bexley & Sidcup constituency.

Our Lady of the Rosary pray for us in BNP leader Nick Griffin MEP's EU/GLA/LDA/ODA NEO-NAZI DEVELOPMENT TIMES Amen

Yours sincerely

Fr. Tim,

On your point about the Holy See giving its approval to Anglican Use texts, I was also laughing to myself that England will have amended versions of Thomas Cranmer's liturgical texts, with an imprimatur from Joseph Ratzinger and a nihil obstat from William Levada!

How about that for true ecumenism!
